SODIUM FERROCYANIDE
Sodium Ferrocyanide is an inorganic salt made of a ferrocyanide complex and sodium. It is not a botanical extract, oil, or treatment active: it is a defined substance that can also occur in a decahydrate form.
SODIUM FERROCYANIDE: what it is
Sodium Ferrocyanide is an inorganic salt made of a ferrocyanide complex and sodium. It is not a botanical extract, oil, or treatment active: it is a defined substance that can also occur in a decahydrate form.
Its technical name may look similar to the names of other cyanide compounds, but it specifically identifies sodium ferrocyanide. That distinction matters on a label: this ingredient is neither a plant-derived material nor a fragrance blend, but an individual compound selected for a physical property in the formula.
SODIUM FERROCYANIDE: what it does in cosmetics
In a cosmetic, Sodium Ferrocyanide works as an anticaking agent. In practical terms, this helps particles or powdered materials stay looser and reduces clumping that can interfere with a product's texture and handling.
A United States food regulation describes sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate as an anticaking agent in salt, illustrating the kind of physical effect associated with the substance. That food use does not establish moisturising, treatment, or another skin benefit; on a cosmetic label, its plausible purpose relates to the stability of dry materials in the formula.
